Perovskite solar cells

A new type of solar cell that uses lead and other common elements to generate electricity. These cells are cheaper than conventional silicon cells, require lower manufacturing temperatures, and have reached 19% efficiency.

Silicon-based photovoltaic panels

Traditional solar panels that use silicon as the semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electricity. They currently dominate the market but have theoretical efficiency limits.

Tandem solar cells

Solar cells that combine two or more different semiconductor materials to absorb a wider range of the solar spectrum, thereby increasing overall efficiency. Perovskite is being explored for use in tandem approaches with silicon.
